The Palácio Nacional de Mafra, located in the town of Mafra, within the historical province of Estremadura in Portugal, is a grandiose Baroque and Neoclassical monument. It was constructed in the 18th century during the reign of King João V, thanks to the wealth flowing from Brazil, and it symbolizes the power and reach of the Portuguese Empire at the time. This palace-monastery complex, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, includes a basilica, a convent, a stunning library, and a royal hunting park, reflecting the opulence and cultural significance of the era.
